Immaculate costumes, a brilliant script and two star-crossed lovers in a battle of wits in this tale of the unconsummated romance between Thailand's reformist King Mongkut (Rama 4) and Anna Leonowens, his son's English tutor. All this set a backdrop of court intrigue against the still running Rama dynasty. Very good.

THE DUCHESS (2008)
Certification12 Our Rating
Georgiana was the innocent young breeding filly the politically powerful Lord Devonshire needed to continue his family dynasty. This is her story; of living powerlessly alongside the Duke and his mistress, of her true love and of her rise to being an important powerbroker amid Britain's ruling elite. An awesomely likeable costume drama with obvious latter day parallels.
